“Even though the “Emancipation Proclamation” was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, endowed people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came in June 29, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as “Juneteenth,” by the newly freed people in Texas.” “The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth,” National Museum of African American History and Culture #juneteenth #publichealth #healthequity #blackhistory
